The Problem is Me!

Why am I SO sad?!

 

I’ve been feeling blue for some reason and it’s torturing me. I have no idea why or what my problem is, but I’m just sad. I’ve cried over this unknown reason and have been really mellow in an unemotional way.


This problem has been around ever since the first day of seventh grade, but I didn’t notice it because it was small. Now it’s really getting to me and I don’t know what's causing it. Please help.


-Confuzzled


Hey babe,

I’m sorry to hear that you have been feeling so down. Although you might not think so, it is fairly common for people to go through small bouts of sadness for no reason at different times in their lives.


What is depression?

I wish I could tell you that things will perk up right away, but it sounds to me like you might be suffering from a bit of depression. Don’t panic, you can and will get out of this slump. Depression can be a heavy word, but once you start addressing your sadness and start working to feel like your old self again, you will be grateful that you understand and know how to combat the world of depression.


Depression has several triggers and causes. It can be brought on by a major life change, as well as a small change that might have gone unnoticed despite feelings of sorrow and a few added tears to everyday life. Your trigger might have been feeling nervous, anxious and scared about starting seventh grade without even realizing it.


Learn the signs and triggers of depression to get more of a clear understanding of the disease and to know if it is what you are suffering from. These signs include: loss of energy, irritability, inability to concentrate, constant feelings of sadness, decreased interest in everyday activities, tiredness, change in diet, feelings of hopelessness, thoughts of suicide or death.


Let it out!

Talk to someone you trust: a close friend, a sibling, a neighbor, a parent or a guidance counselor. Tell them how you're feeling even though you don’t know the causes of your sadness. Once you start talking about your emotions, you will begin to recognize the root of your sadness and possible reasons for it.


Do things to clear your head. Go for a run or walk. Listen to music or read inspiring books. Get journaling or crafty by learning how to knit or scrapbook. Paint. Make sure that you are eating well and getting enough rest.


If you continue to feel like your sadness is affecting your life, schoolwork and relationships with your friends and family talk to your doctor.


Chin up girl. Life will get better.

xoxo
Keltie

I have been feeling kind of like this, from about the beginning of October to now. I don't know what's wrong, but it's not depression. I am in seventh grade as well (if that has an input). Another thing is that I put lots of pressure on myself. What is up?
Thanks!




I cant be sure how youre feeling or how to help. But i suggest you let your parents know how youre feeling so they can help you feel less pressured and whatever else is bothering you. Good luck! xoxo kerra

MOD MOD!!! wow, this Girl Talk came right in time for me!! i've been suffering from weird sadness since seventh grade (i'm in tenth grade now). i used to just think that i was just going through a phase of being a typical teenage girl, but over the past two weeks, i've realized that i've been showing all the signs of depression even more than i used to. i told my little sister this morning about how i was feeling, but i didn't really feel better. i can't really talk to my parents about it, because they are the ones who caused me to feel sad today (i opened my big mouth, said something i shouldn't have to my mom, got legitimately screamed at for it), and if i do tell them what's wrong, they won't believe me, because they always call me a miserable, rude girl. i always wondered why i was miserable. could it be that i could be suffering from depression as well?

 

Hey girl! It could be but you should try talking to a doc. They will be able to tell you more about your specific sitch! Try to stay positive!

i have been feelling really sad for the last 3 weeks and im to afraid to tell my mum, i cant talk to her about anythng and iv been getting in trouble cause iv beenreally unmotivated i want to tell her but i just cant.........




Hey girl! I know telling your mom may be the last thing you want to do, but if you tell her, you will get closer to her. It's so important to take care of yourself and your health,and if you're feeling really sad- it's brave to get help!

She'll be happier you told her!

i dont know if i have depression or not. i noticed earlier someone had posted something about not feeling like them self, well mine is similar. i have recently went from a size 7 juniors to a size 1-3 in juniors and with it happeneing in like 2 months, i dont feel like myself. also i am overwhelmed with school work: UIL theater rehearsals, lots of algebra hw and stuff for social studies. did i mention im only a 7th grader? am i suffering from slight depression?




Hey girl, what you're going through is totally natural. When you're going through puberty, your body shoots up and changes. It's perfectly natural to drop some sizes as you grow your woman body. And the stress? Totally natural too -- you're doing a lot. Girlie, chances are you're not depressed right now but it's way important you take a little you time and have fun too so you stay healthy. If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's way important you talk to someone about it: a parent, guidance counselor, or even a teacher. You're not alone, girl, so never think you are.

livvybee365 on 10/21/2009 8:42:16 PM

The same thing happened to me. It was kind of a subconscious depression for no reason. I always had that sad feeling. I was going through a lot at the time, so I was really stressed and had anxiety.

livvybee365 on 10/21/2009 8:36:02 PM

When I started reading this I thought I might have sent it in to girlslife because I was having the same problem! At the beginning of this year I was not as happy as my usual self and my friend kept on asking me what was wrong. I guess I am out of it now and I think Art Club and being positive helped. Every girl goes through this one time or another.

decemburr96 on 10/21/2009 7:29:45 PM

I have pretty much the same problem. I feel like I don't belong anymore. Like everyone talks about fun things, gossips and crazy stuff! I just don't find the funniest people in my class funny anymore! I will have an occasional moment where I will slip a smile, or totally lose it. But otherwise I just feel like I don't belong. I also love the rain! I love the light gray sky, the smell of fresh rain, and the uneven pattern of the rain falling on the roof. That sound totally calms me down! But I randomly feel sad, or depressed. And espescially lonely.Guess it's a normal thing. But I do feel like this every day..... pretty much.

bluebarry26 on 10/21/2009 6:29:37 PM

aw thats too bad. i just had something like that and im also in seventh grade. i really had no idea what my problem was. i was just really sad all the time. i think it was because of someone in my family just died right when i started. it lasted for about a month and a half. it kind of ruined some of my friendships. it did because i started talking to like just one girl. my other friends were hurt. but it was so bad i didnt even notice and could careless. i have fixed my friendships though! i just remember how awful i felt. i was so overwhelmed my grades started slipping, and i just locked myself in my room every night. i was just really overwhelmed and you know what got me out? what got me out was when I realize how bad depression can get for some people and it really scared me. i started focusing on the positives in life and working on my grades and even though they didnt talk to me, i fixed my friendships right away. i was beginning to get happier. i was also starting to accept the death in my family. it was a month and a half later and i was still sad but i was no longer in depression. i remember thinking even after i wrote in my journal every nite i felt like none of my feelings had been let out and i kept things bottled up inside. but best of luck girlie. its not easy but good luck.

Hey babe, it sounds like you're prob just stressed and going through a lot of things right now. Try writing down some of your thoughts in a journal. You can share some of those thoughts with a close friend or relative, or even the school counselor. Just talking it out really will help ya to feel better.

I get that too. The best thing is to not think too much. Watch a movie that makes you laugh. Snuggle in bed! Do what you want to. Pull an allnighter with your friends. When my sister got her first period, she was in depression. It probs isnt that but, you know!

ok,this might be long,but i really need help.i'm gonna number my probs.they're making me a bit depressed.
1.at the end of summer,my bff and i called our friendship quits.but we both apologized,knowing we were both wrong.but when we 1st stopped,i told my mom that she had convinced me 2 disobey some of the rules my mom gives me,which was true.so now,my mom said we both have 2 change b4 and be good about not being friends she'll let us be friends again.i've been good about it,btu my mom won't know if my friend has changed cuz she won't let us hang out!and i really miss my friend.
2.at our church,we have a group where all the homeschooled kids and teens hang out at our gym or something.there used 2 be this 15 year old guy who came with his brothers and sisters.i knew him a little bit as well as his 14 year old brother and sister who is around my age(i'm almost 13).they always made my week better.they were some of the greatest ppl i ever met.but they moved far away.now the memories of them haunt me.i want them back,they made life so great 4 me.
3.some of my 'friends' were talking behind my back.1 of my real friends said she heard 1 of them(lets call her girl 1)saying i was fat.1 of my other 'friends' agreed with her.girl 1 also said i wasn't cool enough 4 her.there r 2 other girl(3 and 4)who i used 2 hang out with a lot.we would sit 2gether at church(i'm homeschooled),and would always want 2 be partners in whatever games we played.this was b4 summer.i went on vacation during the summer,and wen i came back i said hi 2 them.they didn't even look at me.after trying 2 get their attention 4 3 weeks(i only see them at church),they still ignored me.these 4 girls all made me feel like i'd done something stupid and i wasn't good enough 4 them.now,i can barely trust any1.i only know 2 girls in my youth group,and 1 only comes on sunday.the other i'm not that close with.i kind of 'hide' from evry1 untill it's time 4 class 2 start.i don't really hang out with anybody at home or church.i'm in gymnastics,but all the girls r at leat 2 years younger than me,and they kind of ignore me.plz help,i'm so unsociable now.i can't get hurt anymore.i have a best friend,but it's a guy.i need 2 have sleepovers,somebody 2 talk about nail polish and boys with.srry this is so long.U GUYS ROCK!




Hey girl! You should talk to your girl and your mom and explain how you feel. Maybe you and your mom can come to a compromise. It's sometimes really hard having friends move away but you can keep in touch with them! Believe in yourself and know how great you are! Don't worry about what your friends or other girls think! Be confident!

I have three problems right now.Smile
1.) I just started swimming and well, I seem to be getting sore muscles as in I can't move my wrist in a certain way or walk right. What should I do?
2.) My hair frizzes often and I'm tired of putting moose in it or braiding it and putting it in a ponytail. I just want to keep my hair straight. What do I do?
3.) I have a friend and well she hangs out with a group at school I don't really know. I hang out with that friend at lunch often ,but I don't want to seem like a stalker to that one group. What can i do? Also I hang out with this friend a lot and other people think she is my only friend ,but she isn't! What do I do?
Please help me answer these questions.Smile




Hey girlie,




Make sure that you are stretching properly after every work out. Take it easy if you feel like you are injured. If your wrist starts to feel worse talk to your couch or a parent or a doctor to see if you have strained it. As for your hair, try using an anti-frizz serum, avoid using heat appliances like straighteners or blow dryers, and make sure that you are using conditioner on a regular basis. As for the friend, keep hanging out with her if you want and hang out with your other friends as well. Don't worry about what other people think!

I NEED HELP! I've turned down a guy in the past all because my friend liked him, but this time I'm thinking twice. This guy asked me out and I said yes. I kinda knew my friend liked him but I didn't think it was serious since she met him for like ten minutes and likes 5 other guys. She told me she likes him, and wants me to break up with him. I feel like she's controlling my life, and no guys are ganna ask me out if I keep turning them down like this. I'm not boy crazy or anything, and I think friends are way more important than guys, but can you see where I am coming from?




Hey girlie,




Tell your friend that even though you love her you actually really like this guy and he seems to like you too. Don't break up with him just because she likes him. He might not even be interested and you would have lost your shot to go out with a guy you like.

I hate having to bring the laundry up because I have to go up two sets of stairs! It hurts my back and doesn't help when I don't feel good. She probably won't talk to me for a couple days and I don't want that! Is there any way to fix this? Please Help!!! Frown




Hey girlie,




Just because you don't like doing something doesn't mean that you don't have to do it. Show your mom that you want to make more of an effort to help her around the house and do things when she asks you to. She'll start to respect you more and you'll get your phone back soon enough!

Ok, Last year I was really sad because I tore myself apart from my best friends and I didnt mean to but they didnt seem to care so that got me really sad. I never showed or told anyone my sadness. I usually had a fake smile but I inside I literally just wanted to open up to someone and tell but I felt like I couldnt. I felt like this for almost the whole school year, until April were I finally started talking to my old Best Friends. I still felt sad though, even though things seemed going better for me. Then when I almost felt completely happy, my parents had this big fight at the end of May. They were yelling and all of a sudden my mom came into my room and and started crying and my dad cameand was asking me to open the door but I didnt do anthing then heard my dad crying and my mom asked him to leave and he did. Then when he left my mom started holding me and crying and just saying stuff all at once. Then my dad came back about 5 hrs later and my parents acted like everything was the same so I felt like I had to pretend everything was alright.
From then on I felt really sad all the time and I still do. I dont feel as sad as I did before but every once in a while I will cry. Do u think I might have depression??




Hey girlie,




If you can't shake your sadness you might have depression. It's fairly common and the best thing you can do to start feeling better is by talking to someone about it. Confide in a close friend or a sibling or your mom and talk to them. Make sure that it's someone you trust. Tell them that you have been feeling down a lot lately and you're not sure why or what to do to start feeling happy again. If this doesn't work consider talking to a doctor or a counselor who will be able to help you start feeling like your old self again.

Okay, me and this other guy (yes, I know, guy probs) we going to do a duet, for theatre, and wanted to try out for varity show. We prcticed, what, 4-5 times? One day he was like, oh we can do this, that would be soooo cool. Then the rest of the week, he was like, oh we have 45 minutes, I just wanna chill. And the rest of the time he talked, while I worked. I spend countless hours practicing/memorizing/working to perfect everything, I memorized the WHOLE SKIT. Because of his stupidity, and lazynesswe didn't get in to the varity show. I want to confrot him and find the reason he thinks we didn't make it. What do YOU think I should do?




Hey girlie,




Let him know how you feel and how much effort you put into working to get into the show. Ask him if he's doing ok and if anything has been bothering him lately. Try and find out what made him change his mind about working to get into the show and see if he'd like to try out for the next thing that comes around.

It's raining in my town, and the sky is covered with white. Every time there's this type of weather: white skies, rain, wind, cold, I feel depressed.. Is this normal or should I see a doctor about depression?
~ Winter Blues in California




Hey Winter Blues,




You might just have a touch of seasonal depression. It's brought on by the weather usually at a time when the seasons are changing and it happens to quite a lot of people. You should snap out of it soon enough. I wouldn't run to a doctor right away unless you are feeling really depressed ALL the time about every little thing. Sunnier skies will come soon enough.

mod, i think i might be depressed. i feel so sad tothe point were i figure its not worthwaking up in the morning. im popular and known as the nice-sweet-cute-sorta obnoxious in a funny way kinda girl, so i dont see why this is happening. theres this girl who is really nice, but i envy her becuz shes skinny and blonde. i dont know what to do! and also theres this boy who i really like, and he likes me back, but i just broke up with his best friend and i thinkhe thinks my friend would get mad if i dated him. andyway, back to the depression thing, im afraid to go to therapy also. i have another problem, (i have alot, im sorry). im sorta figuring out that im afraid of change. wich is not good at all, considering how my dads in the air force and i ove alot. (im 11 and ive moved 8 times already). I dont know what to do! im really scared but im afraind to tell my friends cuz i think they might judge me! help! (sry its so long)

 

Hey girlie,

 

Depression is a very, very common problem. It's important to get help as soon as possible. The sooner you get treated for depression, the easier it is to overcome it. If you don't want to go to therapy, at least talk to your counselor at school.

And don't be afraid to talk to your friends. Tell them ahead of time that you want to talk and get their advice, but you are afraid they will judge you. If they are true friends, they will listen and not judge.
